Punished for Blasphemy.

Here is an odd little episode, as de.
scribed in the London Times by its
Odessa correspondent: l was present
yesterday in the appellate court here
when an appeal was heard from Russian
pasant named Krzyzanovski against the
sentence of six months imprisonment ad-
judged him by the Kamenetz-P odolsk
tribunal for blasphemy. The appellants
offense was this: Tired and weary after
long days labor in the harvest field
last year he entered the village tavern
and drank a glass of vodkah. After this
appetizer he was supplied with small
meat roll, called in Russian "pirog."
The peasant found the "pirog" such ex-
ccllent eating that he exclaimed: 81
would rather kiss the girl who made this
prog than the iconm The latter is the
sacred picture never absent from any
Russian habtation, before which it is
usual for visitors to uncover and cross
themselves. The PEASANTS exclamation
was highly complimentary to the cook OF
the tavern, but the parish priest, to whom
it was reported, heard and judged it in
a different light Hence the prosecution
and sentence The peasant, whom saw
enter the box and devoutly cross himself
before the ''icon" in court, was a middle
aged, jovial and qood-tempcred looking
man, who appeared much relieved by
the court reducing the original sentence
to one months arrest.

Perhaps might moro forcibly illustrate
this truth by calling your attention 10 an in
cident which took place fourteen or fifteen
years ago One Monday morning at about
2 o'clock, while her 900 passengers were sound
asleep in her berths dreaming OF home, the
steamer Atlantic crashed into Mars Head
Five hundred souls in ten minutes landed in
eternity Oh, what scenel Agonized mon
and women running up aud down the gang
ways and clutching for the rigging, and the
plunge of the helpless steamer, and the clap
pingof the hands of the merciles sea over
the drowning and the dead, threw two contl-
nents into terror. But see this bravo quar-
termaster pushing out with the life-line until
he gets to the rock; and see these fishermen
gathering up the shipwrecked and TAX
ing them into ths cabins and wrapping
them in the fiannels snug and warm; and see
that minister of the Gospel with three other
men getting into Il lifeboat and pushing out
for the wreck, pulling away across the surf
and pulling away until they save one more
man, and then getting back with him TO the
shore. Can those men ever forget that night
And can they ever forget their companion
ship in peril, companionship in struggle, com.
panionship in awful catastrophe and rescued
Neverl Never In whatever part of the
earth they meet they will be friends when
they mention the story of that awful night
when the Atlantic struck Mars Head.
Well, my friend, our world has gone into d
worse shipwreck. Sin drove it on the rocks.
The old ship has lurchel and tossed in the
tempests of six thousand years, Out with the
life line! / do not care what denomination
carries it. Out with the lifeboat! do not
care what denomination rows it. Side by
side in the memory of common hardships, and
common trials, and common prayers, and
common tears. let us be brothers forever
We must be. We must be.
One army Of the living God
To whose command we bow
Part Of the host have Gro sed the flood
And part arc crossing now.

around the cross of Christ and recite the
creed: ~ believe in God the Father Almighty
Maker Of heaven and earth, and in Jesu.

TWO RUNAWAY LOCOMOTIVES
Hurled Down an Emba n X mont ON the

Hurled Down an Emba II kmont ON the
Pennsylvania Road.
By the collision of two locomotives on the
Pennsylvania railroad two engineers were
fatally injured. After the collision the throt-
tie of one of the locomotives was thrown wide
open, and the engine started out on the road
at mile minute. Having no one on board
10 control it, the wild engine flew westward
through the yard at West Philadelphia.
When it reached the Wilmington & Balti-
more railroad crossing a mile distant,
near Thirtieth street on the elevated
track, it collided with engine No.
chester. The engineer, Joseph Kelly, was
alone, trying to back to Broad street for his
train The force of the collision threw Kelly
out on the ground, and then engine 110(
bounded up the track, its throttle having
been thrown open also, with engine No. 39s
crowding behind it. Fortunately the two
engines ran through a switch which threw
them on short track This track was only
100 yards in length, and ended upon an EN-.
baniunent about 80 feet in height. No. 11Ot
went bounding down the embankment, and
buried itself in the dirt. The second engine
came along at the same wild speed and it
too, went crashing down the bank, tumblinl
over the other one. The two engines were
badly wrecked, and had they taken the
switch they would have run wildly ahead or
the main track, and caused, perhaps, terri
BILE catastrophe.

There is intense excitement in California
canned goods circles. Prices are rapidly ad

Is to % per cent. in peaches, pears and plums'
The demand from eastern states is unprece-
dented. 1t is not a question of prices with
buyers. Gamers dictate their own prices.
and at the advanced price the demand Is not
materially lessened. They cannot nope 70
supply the orders by pressing the facilities OF
the canneries to their full capacity day and
night as long as the fruit season lasts. Every
cannery in the state is running at its full ca
pacity One company has refused an order
Tor 20 car loads OF canned fruit Another
company states that two cases for every one
packed will not supply the demand upon
them One of the principal causes for the
inability of canneries to meet orders is the
scarcity of labor. 1t is impossible to secure
the amount of help desired. Cannery men
prefer whites, but after employing the latter
and all the available Cinnamon, there is stiD
a call for white laborers.
